It wasn't the best alternative IMO when I was buying my 09, so nah! If I go by bikes now...yeah, the ZX-10R is a pretty good offering for the money with some potential. That said you can definitely get better bikes now.
this is true, i like their bikes... every once in a while a 1kRR comes up n' i seriously consider it., they're very smooth indeed; great engineering fer sure :nerd:
:thumbup Before my last 4 Yamaha's I'd mostly been a Kawi guy so I'd probably go back to team green for a super sport. I also plan on getting a Harley with bags so me and my girl can do long trips. She has her own Shadow V-Twin 600 I brought for her a few years ago that we go two up on but it's a bit to small for two up. I've had some large V-Twins but never a Harley so I want to get one even if it's not the best option to chose from.
Not real sure since i barely notice other brands. (100% serious)
I like the looks of the rsv4 but from knowing others with aprilias i dont think i want one because of all the problems they seem to always have.
Ive grown tired of the inline 4 sound and why i so badly wanted the R1. so it would have to be a ducati or aprilia.
JEALOUS... But I'd rather have the base RR bc I wouldn't be so afraid of replacing parts like carbon when I eat shit lol
I would like to borrow cruise control and heated grip from the BMW though! My buddy's 15 RR sounds so good stock. Everything I've read says it is bc their cat setup is very unrestrictive. Stock for stock he walked me but I didn't buy a bike for drag racing. Love my :fork
My Fireblade answer was based on when I actually bought what is now my bike. If I just could pick any liter made now...well...probably S1000RR or Panigale. After I move I should be closer to an Aprilia dealer, so maybe that RSV4 RF :sneaky
Funny you should ask, just picked her up 3 days ago. Have always been intrigued by the s1000rr, took one on a test ride last Friday and picked it up Tuesday. 2013 with 1880 miles and some nice bits on her already. One of the mechanics at the bmw dealer traded it in on a s1000r. Excuse the garage, just bought the house 2 1/2 weeks ago and am in the process of shuttling everything to its final resting place.
I started on a FZR600 back in 92 based off watching Rainey win his third title on the YZR500. I guess I would probably be on a Kawi ZX10 at this point, because my second favorite bike at the time was the ZX-7R ridden by Russell.
